258 / 365 - Thinking of Japan

258 / 365 March 15, 2011***

 

The news was tragic that first came out of Japan, and we have had worse news each day. I am hoping for the bad news to stop very soon and for Japan to start the healing process. When the news broke on Friday, Sue and I were just shaking our heads at the early vision and saying "No, oh no". I thought of my flickr buddy Raul and was concerned, so shot him an email. I was quite relieved that he and his family are ok.

 

Edit: Man that red spot looks nothing like it did before uploading!

 

I have been absolutely smashed with writing proposals for wok, where 4 customers wanted them done at the same time, and my usual go to guys and girls are too busy to put in their normal excellent effort. So the buck stops with me, and long days as I get on with it. I crashed after thinking of this shot the previous day, and didn't get to take it.

 

*** Actually shot the day after, oops.
